Isn't that kernel version supposed to come with the Alsa drivers already? Then I don't think you should install alsa-source. And it should mean better integration / easier setup, but then, it's an unstable kernel, you're probably pretty much on your own... I can't really help you 'cause, although I'm using the Alsa drivers, I'm not running that kernel version and as such I don't know what might have changed in the alsa driver installation / configuration process. I'm also not running devfs. Perhaps you'd care to consider this ckecklist: 1) Do you have the Alsa portion of modules.conf set up right? (Do you need to?) 2) In my case there was a little Alsa script I had to run, that created a whole bunch of entries in /dev. Would that apply to you? 3) Can you run alsamixer (from package alsa-utils), and if so, did you up the volumes and unmute the channels? 4) Can you see reasonable contents under /proc/asound? And under /proc/asound/dev? I wish you luck. Sorry I won't be able to help you further. -- Carlos Sousa -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
